This was such a sweet small town romance. Audra and Reeve were the sweetest couple. Reeve and his never dates were so perfect. However I think I loved Audra the most. She was a big city gal stepping out of her comfort zone in a small country town. She wasn't happy about the job or leaving her friends/family. However she kept a positive spin on it the whole time. Meeting amazing people along the way helped as well. This was definitely not a fast burn. These two took months to step over the line they had created. Even then the rules they created were slowly broken apart as well. Neither of them could stop this love from happening. Loved these two and loved the lack of crazy drama. It made them seem more real. "Real" couples are the ones I love the most.

Oh reeve stole my heart. I felt so much for these charaters, they were so real like and I want more!
This was a nice and easy read and after reading the other books about Audria’s friends I realized she had her own book too so I really wanted to know her story. She had to move to a small town for her first job and that’s when she met Reeve, and sparks flew from the beginning. They had a lot of chemistry and while at first they were only friends it was obvious they both wanted more and their attraction was undeniable so at the end they both acted on their feelings.
I loved their moments together but I still expected more of their life’s background and sometimes it felt like some things happened really fast, but in general it was an enjoyable story and they both were amazing characters. I also loved their relationship with their friends and how they all rooted for them.

Feel good city girl meets country boy romance. Leave Him Loved is the perfect book to curl up with on a weekend. Low angst, low drama, plenty of sweet and swoony moments and Reeve Colton!
The moment Audria and Reeve run into each other there is a connection and there is chemistry. It all seems to just grow more and more as their story progresses and the more time they spend together. Audria believes her time in the small town is only temporary and she’ll find another job back in the city sooner than later, however, she doesn’t expect Reeve. Reeve didn’t expect to meet Audria either, but I love how he was with her and their dates! The man is swoony and just like the town of Bampton Valley, he is full of charm.
From Audria and Reeve to the town of Bampton Valley you’ll be falling in love with this story!
If you’re looking for a small town, strangers to lovers, super sweet and swoony romance this is one to read!

Oh my goodness, Harloe knocked it out of the park once again with this sweet, sassy, sexy small-town romance with allllll the feels, y'all.
In this city girl meets country boy romance, Audria and Reeve collide with witty puns and conversations and enough sexual chemistry to light up a big city. Whew. From their stellar meet-cute to the months of flirty friendship (because they agreed on it), to the ultimate first kiss...gah, this story was everything!
I love Harloe's small-towns. She puts so much depth in side characters and the setting I want to live within the pages. This story had the laughter, swoon, and a tinge of heartbreak and then wraps up in the sweetest, sexiest ending. I adored both Reeve and Audria, although once again we have a couple who assumes, makes rapid decisions, and don't communicate, but at least this time they handled it quickly and without the drama.
This right here is why Harloe Rae is a one-click author of mine. I haven't read book of hers i haven't loved.

Adorable Story
This one was quite adorable and worth the read. Loved the chemistry between the characters and glad they came to their senses regarding one another

Leave Him Loved had such great potential, but for me, it fell short at the end. It’s the first time I’ve read a book where the hero and heroine have such strong chemistry, and clear attraction to one another, but for no reason at all, choose not to act on it for so long, which meant I was left frustrated and annoyed because there was never an explanation.
Audria moves from Minneapolis, to a tiny town in Iowa for her first teaching job. She’s a true city girl, so takes a while to adjust to the country life, but it’s helped by the tall gorgeous farmer she runs into on her first day in town. Reeve is instantly drawn to the pretty out of towner but quickly puts the brakes on anything romantic happening between them, despite their chemistry. They decide to be friends, as Audria is only in town for the school year and start spending time together. After months of flirtation and small touches, they deicide to change to a friend with benefits situation, and feelings quickly develop, although they hide them from each other. Will Audria ever want to trade in the city life for a small town for good?
The build up to this relationship was so well done, you could feel the chemistry between Audria and Reeve coming off the page, despite the fact he put a block on anything more happening so early on. I loved their never ever dates, and their flirty friendship meant that they knew each other on a deeper level than just diving into a friends with benefits situation. Neither wanted a relationship, and it was clear why to begin with because of Audria’s time being limited in town, but when feelings began to get involved, she no longer saw that as a problem. In fact, she was never opposed to a relationship really, the main issues always stemmed from Reeve. While I liked his honesty at the start, how he didn’t want to lead her on, and I am all for people not dating just because they don’t want to, but his internal feelings didn’t reflect his actions. Because of this, I was waiting for the big reveal at the end, maybe something had happened in Reeve’s past that meant he was scared of relationships, or having had something happened which meant he didn’t believe in love, but nothing ever came. I was left frustrated and it meant I never felt truly connected to the couple, specifically Reeve because I just couldn’t understand his actions.
There were some aspects of this book, I loved the small-town vibe, and I did like Audria’s character but wasn’t a fan of Reeve. Audria’s friendships were great too, her friends from college all have me intrigued for their own stories and I loved how easily she settled into small town life and was accepted by the citizens. I really liked Reeve’s best friend Gavin, I feel like he has a story too, and it was all going so well until their friends with benefits relationship happened. Finally, the ending left me feeling a bit like I’d been sold short on something, Reeve did a complete 180, once again with no explanation, so I never got behind their reunion. I have really liked Harloe’s books in the past, and loved the first half of this one, but by the end, Leave Him Loved just wasn’t the one for me.

Reeve and Audria are perfect together. City girl meets country boy. They come to an agreement, since her stay is short term. Reeve doesn't let that stop him from working hard to show Audria everything there is to love about country living. The rumor mill is a buzz with what is going on between these two and it is HOT! Definitely recommend!
I am such a huge fan of sweet, small-town romance books! I just loved this book! It gave me all the feels! Definitely one of Harloe Rae’s best!!
I am a die hard book nerd for some Harloe Rae books, and this release was no different. The chemistry between Audria and Reeve was scorching hot. Audria is a city girl who is in Bampton Valley for a very short period of time, and then it will be on to the next. Then she meets Reeve, this hot farmer who loves Bampton Valley, and never plans on leaving. Their meeting was everything, and more. Seriously another five star read by Harloe Rae. Definitely add this book to your TBR GoodReads Lists.
